Abstract
A method includes providing a media playout system (MPS) access to a plurality of media automation services via a master API. The MPS transmits media station content to end-users. The master API transmits, to the MPS, at least one media delivery schedule indicating scheduled media items to be transmitted by the media playout system to the end-users, and receives a change request from a first media playout system. The change request indicates a requested change in one or more media items scheduled for transmission by the media playout system to the end-users. The API transmits the change request to a first media automation service, selected by the master API based on the requested change, receives from the first media automation service updated media delivery information responsive to the change request, and transmits the updated media delivery information from the master API to the first media playout system.
